Migrant Labor Code Rules and regulations for Housing and Sanitation in Migrant Labor Camps part one
No full textThis text supplies standards to farmers regarding the living conditions of migrant laborers. Items included are requirements of housing (i.e. floors, size of, separate rooms for men and women) clean eating areas and utensils, and the fact that kitchens are to be located away from toilets. It states that people with communicable diseases should not cook for others, safe water should be supplied, and lists standards for bathrooms or privies
Harper, Historiography, and the Race/Gender Opposition in Feminism
No full textThe article discusses the historiography of feminist and abolitionist Frances Ellen Watkins Harper. According to the author, the historical narrative of a split between white and black women activists in the U.S. during the 19th century has elided the theoretical contributions of Harper and other black women to feminism. It is suggested that rather than choosing between working for either racial or gender equality, Harper and other black women activists made significant contributions to both

Development of composite calibration standard for quantitative NDE by ultrasound and thermography
No full textInspection of aircraft components for damage utilizing ultrasonic Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) is a time intensive endeavor. Additional time spent during aircraft inspections translates to added cost to the company performing them, and as such, reducing this expenditure is of great importance. There is also great variance in the calibration samples from one entity to another due to a lack of a common calibration set. By characterizing damage types, we can condense the required calibration sets and reduce the time required to perform calibration while also providing procedures for the fabrication of these standard sets. We present here our effort to fabricate composite samples with known defects and quantify the size and location of defects, such as delaminations, and impact damage. Ultrasonic and Thermographic images are digitally enhanced to accurately measure the damage size. Ultrasonic NDE is compared with thermography.This proceeding may be downloaded for personal use only.

A re-classification of the Acrochaetiales based on molecular and morphological data, and establishment of the Colaconematales ord. nov. (Florideophyceae, Rhodophyta)
No full textSystematics of the red algal order Acrochaetiales and related taxa was investigated using combined small- and large-subunit nuclear ribosomal DNA (SSU and LSU rDNA, respectively) sequence data. These data were subjected to distance, parsimony and maximum likelihood analyses. The resulting phylogenies were congruent with previously published SSU results in that all included orders (Balbianiales, Batrachospermales, Nemaliales, Palmariales and Thoreales) were resolved as monophyletic except the Acrochaetiales, which consisted of two lineages (Acrochaetiales I and II). The Batrachospermales and Thoreales occupied equivocal positions as early diverging lineages, while the Balbianiales generally resolved as sister to an Acrochaetiales–Nemaliales–Palmariales (ANP) complex. Relationships among the four lineages of the ANP complex were not completely resolved, but detailed analyses weakly positioned Acrochaetiales II as sister to the Nemaliales, whereas Acrochaetiales I displayed a moderate to strong affiliation with the Palmariales. Acrochaetiales I included representatives of the genera Acrochaetium, Audouinellaand Rhodochorton, whereas Acrochaetiales II had a number of acrochaetioid species including a representative of the genus Colaconema. Compared with published SSU phylogenies, bootstrap values within the two Acrochaetiales lineages increased substantially in combined SSU/LSU analyses. Based on these results, emended generic descriptions are provided for Acrochaetium, Audouinella, Colaconemaand Rhodochorton, and a new family of acrochaetioid algae is described, the Colaconemataceae J. T. Harper etG. W. Saunders. The Acrochaetiaceae now includes the genera Acrochaetium, Audouinellaand Rhodochorton, while the Colaconemataceae is considered monogeneric at this time. It is quite likely that additional genera will be recognized within the Colaconemataceae pending further investigation. Acrochaetiaceae is retained as the sole family of the Acrochaetiales, although the tenuous recognition of the Palmariales as distinct from this order is discussed, whereas Colaconemataceae is transferred to the new order Colaconematales J.

Properties and applications of the vector Harper operator / Stuart Yates.
No full textIncludes copies of articles co-authored by the author in the appendix.Bibliography: leaves 61-63.v, 131 leaves : ill. ; 30 cm.This thesis examines a vector-valued generalization of the Harper operator on a graph with a free action of a discrete group, the scalar version of which was defined by Sunada. A spectral approximation result is obtained for the vector Harper operator (and more generally for a large class of operators) which states that when the group is amenable, the spectral density function can be approximated by the average spectral density functions of finite approximations to the operator with arbitrary boundary conditions.Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Adelaide, Dept. of Pure Mathematics, 200
